Sergiy Galyonkin, though not necessarily familiar to all gamers, has been a significant contributor to Epic Games for almost eight years. Also known for developing Steam Spy, a website that projects sales on Valve's platform, Galyonkin moved to Epic Games in 2016. Since then, he has assisted the company in reaching new milestones. Now, he has shared on his Twitter/X account that he has decided to part ways with Epic Games, stating, "I am not a good fit for this new version of Epic."

Galyonkin further explained, "Now, Epic Games is on its way to transitioning from a game developer, engine creator, and publisher into a platform—Epic 5.0." Despite leaving Epic Games, Galyonkin intends to continue his career in the gaming industry and be more outspoken now that he's no longer constrained by the PR department.
